If such an alternative admission is not available or is, in the Company’s opinion, unduly burdensome, such an alternative admission will not be obtained, and the Company shall have no further obligation in respect of any listing, trading or quotation for the Securities.

Additionally, certain of the Underwriters are not U.S. registered broker-dealers, and therefore, to the extent they intend to effect any sales of the Securities in the United States, they will do so through a U.S. registered broker-dealer in accordance with the applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations and as permitted by FINRA regulations.

As between the Underwriters, the execution of this Terms Agreement will constitute acceptance by each Underwriter of the International Capital Markets Association Agreement Among Managers New York Version 1 (the “Agreement Among Managers”) subject to any amendment notified to such Underwriter in writing at any time prior to the execution of this Terms Agreement.

In the event that the Company or any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
